About Avenales Ranch
Avenales Ranch is a historic working cattle ranch in the remote hills southeast of Santa Margarita whose vineyard operation has been featured among the region's notable growers. The ranch's story is agricultural first: generations of ranching ground that added wine grapes to its cattle legacy.
The vineyard supplies fruit within the regional trade, with the ranch identity front and center. Avenales represents the grower side of Paso wine country, the ranches whose fruit fills other labels' bottles. Growers like Avenales rarely court visitors, but their fruit shapes bottles across the region, and knowing the ranch names behind the labels is one of the deeper pleasures of following Paso wine seriously.
